• My mother would take groups of students to different countries and always brought us along, so by the time I was 10, I had been to Russia, China, Nicaragua and several other countries.

• I hate whiners. I understand that the pressure can be a lot, and I have days where I just want to scream, but it comes with the territory.

• I don't care who you are, everyone has been through it - that feeling where you'd like to be someone else.

• I thought I was a boy till I was 10 years old.

• I definitely started thinking I was a little tougher than I am. I'd try to get in people's faces.

• I can street fight, but in terms of precision and martial arts, they have a very specific style.

• I am still not quite famous, so gossip doesn't happen very often.

• Each year, I say I'm going to go to school next year. It's inevitable that I'll end up getting my education.

• There is definitely something sexy about a girl with an attitude and a pair of leather pants.

• We didn't have a TV in the living room and all my friends thought we were kind of weird. When they'd come over, my mom wanted to talk to them about current events.

• It's easy to play a bad girl. You just do everything you've been told not to do, and you don't have to deal with the consequences, because it's only acting.

• If you throw yourself into the spotlight, you can't just turn it off and on whenever you want. It takes patience.

• If I wasn't doing this, I'd be in school studying political science or socioeconomic something. I love visiting different cultures and finding out how they make up a society.

• If I feel something, that's all there is for me at the time. But I also have a raging case of attention deficit disorder.

• I was raised in Boston by three older brothers and a very strong and empowering single mom.

• I remember hitting Sarah Michelle Gellar with a right hook during my first week on the job. It was awful. They usually pair actors with stunt doubles to avoid things like that.

• I never sat down and mapped out this career of mine. I've always kind of flown by the seat of my pants.

• For the longest time, I thought I was a boy. I really did. I wore boys’ clothes, played tag football, and even peed like a boy. I swear to God. We’d go on road trips with my mom, and when we’d make the inevitable pit stops on the side of the highway, I’d jump out and line up next to my brothers.

• I love my family, my fam is the greatest. Any chance I can get to see them, is the coolest thing.

• You have a better chance of seeing God. (Eliza reaction upon asking if she would do a nude scene)

• Go big or go home. Because it's true. What do you have to lose?

• There's a lot of actresses out there who are the girl next door. I relate more to characters who have an edge.

• I love leather and it's great to be a bad girl at times. But there is a time and place for everything. When I'm with Grandma it's flowers, and when I'm out on the town scoping guys, you know?

• Some guy asked me if I was on TV, and I said yes, and he threw his drink at me. I was recognized, but my face was wet.

• It's easy to play the bad girl. You just do everything you've been told not to do, and you don't have to think about the consequences because it's only acting.

• Everyone wants to be famous, but when you get there, you're not so sure.
